For those of you who are unaware, 10/01 is the historic holiday known as "JimDay." You see, there is a guy on our team who I'll call Jim, because his name is Jim. In honor of this (and the fact that Jim does awesome work), we have declared today to be Jimday and threw him a party to celebrate. No, it was not Jim's birthday, nor was there any special reason to hold JimDay today...other than the fact that it was October First, which totally made sense. Please, please, please write your Congressperson and ask, nay demand, that this be a federally recognized holiday.
First, as is traditional on "JimDay", here is the JimDay card:
JimDay CardOf course, people literally lined up to sign the card for this historic Jimday:
Feel the love! (Last name deleted)Sure, a card is nice...but what about serious party decorations?
Amazing!Let's look at the detail-work on the banner, shall we?
Since you haven't written your state representative yet, we couldn't find any "Happy JimDay" banners at the store, and had to go with "Happy Birthday." Luckily, with our amazing programmer art skills, we managed to seamlessly cover this fact...
How about refreshments? It isn't JimDay without food is it? Of course not! We decided to go with an assortment of cheesecake, which as served on amazing zoopals plates. These plates are shaped like animal heads. This was paired with Zoopal animal-shaped utensils and Zoopal sippy cups. Please go buy a gross of Zoopal goods at your local store now, because now that I know they exist, the idea of a Zoopal-less world leaves me feeling empty inside.
JimDay Cake! Notice the "frog" Zoopal plate in the upper left hand corner.
In honor of JimDay, we presented Jim with crucial gift certificates redeemable from his co-workers to help him get through the day:
And finally, what you've all been waiting for...a blurry IPhone picture of a small sub-portion of the festivities!
In summation, Jim is a guy, and therefore we had JimDay. Also, Cake.
Jimday ey? Creative. What about a special Jimday song, you know, like “Happy Jimday” ? You need a song to sing before you eat the cake. Right? Or is that not a very Jim-like thing to do? When it comes to gift certificates…I don’t know if Jerry’s good listening certificate is a good idea. Have you seen The Simpson’s movie, where Marge tells Homer why he should not have the spider pig, and all what’s in Homer’s head when she talks to him is a random monkey slumming on some percussion cymbals. Yeah, that is Jerry listening. ;-) Do you really wanna do that to Jim?
